Torino-headquartered Lavazza Coffee Shops Srl (LCS) is planning to enter the Bulgarian market by acquiring the local coffee shop chain Onda Coffee.

According to a statement published on the site of the Commission for the Protection of Competition the deal is expected to affect Bulgaria’s coffee shop market.

No further details were immediately available.

Onda Coffee Break, whose biggest shareholder is Greece's Global Finance, has eleven coffee shops in the Bulgarian capital Sofia.
